Does this device replace the CD player, or can both be used when installed?

It just plugs into an existing input module of the CD player. So you can use CD, AUX and AM/FM. You can view the device as one that should have been installed if you had bought the AUX function initially.

You can use the cd player. If you look at the selecter button for your radio, you'll see the one below the AM/FM is one with CD and CPR on it that's going to be the button you select for your MP3 player if you press it again it'll go to your CD player.

Both can be usedAlthough, I installed this partly b/c our cd player is broken and it's too expensive to fix

This does not replace the CD player. This gets plugged into a port on the bottom of the factory installed CD player. This allows additional devices (i.e., ipod, phone, etc.) to be played through the existing stereo system. The existing CD player can still be used, but of course only one device can be used at any given time. In other words, if you're listening to you iPod through the AUX function then you cannot also listen to the CD player at the same time.

Nope, not at all! It just plugs right in the back of the factory head-unit, and you press the "media" button to switch to this auxiliary input! Works instantly, and CD's still play fine :-)

We have a receiver that has problems and needs to be replaced. I wondered if this radio can take the place of the receiver? I mean can we hook our CD player into the radio and then have the sound come out of our existing speakers.

As long as CD player has AUX outlet. You can hook anything though AUX cable. It comes with it, but a little short .

It does not have a CD player on it. You just plug any MP3 device in to it and thats how it works. Nice little unit.

This, like most add on modules, works by hooking into the port used for the CD changer in the trunk. So, no, you cannot use both at once, though the dash mounted CD player will still work.

Yes! As long as you have plug inputs available, you can install Connect just like you would a new CD player or tuner. It's just like adding another stereo component. You won't need different speakers or any other electronics. Your system will just process the Connect signal as it does for your other inputs. It's a very high quality signal, too, and you'll like the sound.

I guess you mean "plug and play." I guess you could. I used the CD. Only takes a few minutes.

No. If you are using this device you will not be able to use your CD player. I chose this because I have satellite radio and use my iPhone.

This unit has standard RCA type audio input jacks that allow you to connect any type of external audio device such as a CD or DVD player.There is no CD or DVD player built into this unit.

If your CD player has red and white outputs, or an output jack, then yes. If it doesn't then no.

Sorry, I don't know if your CD player will work with this unit. I installed mine in a 97 BMW 328I and it made a big difference in sound quality, hope you get similar results.

I believe you can hook it to the cd/radio if you have aux. in jacks or you can always play it thru the radio by tuning it to the proper station.
